Information

Buffalo storage devices are very popular these days. Most common are the Buffalo TeraStation and LinkStation. Frequently available with USB and NAS connectivity, Terastations usually come in a RAID 5 configuration and span data across multiple hard drives. Buffalo LinkStation’s are usually single disk storage boxes – two disk LinkStations are available in either a RAID 0 or RAID 1 format. All use the XFS filesystem and use SATA hard disk drives using capacities of 500GB and above.

Faced with the loss of some highly valuable data, I called Data Clinic recently for advice. They were professional, helpful and generous with their time. In the event, my worst fears weren't realised and i didn't need to use their services. I called them to let them know, and they were happy for me. If I'm ever faced with a similar situation again, they'll be my first port of call.

We lost everything on our Raid Drive, so we were not hopeful of recovering it. Data Clinic collected the drive, then returned it without a great deal of help from us. They did a great job, such a relief. I cannot thank them enough.
